I wanted to experiment a bit with user-defined aspects to see how far
GNAT takes LRM 13.1.1(38/3).

GNAT GPL 2014 (20140331) accepts certain implementation-defined aspects
(such as "SPARK_Mode"), but it doesn't accept user-defined aspects.

Unlike this, pragmas don't have to be known by the compiler in advance
to be accepted by GNAT (but you do get a warning if the pragmas aren't
recognised).

+ Why this difference?

+ Is it different in GNAT GPL 2015?  (I haven't gotten around to install
  it yet.)

+ Will it be different in GNAT GPL 2016?

Greetings,

Jacob
